How much do you have into it?
The guy i bought it from wanted $600.He couldn't get it started.I said how bought i give you $300 right know.He said it's a deal,I went to the bank and got the money.The funny thing is that i was not going to drive 5 hours somewere to pic up a trike.This place was only 5 min from my house.My friend also purchased a 1986 Honda 200X for $900.I have about $3,000 invested in money and a 100 hours in work time.My next project is a 1985 250Z tri z.I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.I will be getting one of these this early spring. :-D
Coming soon project Tri Z

Looks great. I know the plastic is missing from the tank but I really like the look of the black with the blue plastic.
Ya i took them off to wet sand them down.This takes a while,but well worth the effort.You can't buy the OEM Sky Blue side covers anymore.So i am forced to do more searching.When i'm done they should be looking brand new.I am going to put some custom lettering on them as well.Something like YAMAHA
This picture was a month ago.

Did you make those rear mud flaps? I am missing a pair for one of my Yamahaulers.... what type of material and where did you get it? I'll try to get pics of those 225DX mud flaps I have here. The weather turned on me... cold and snowy again so haven't gone out to find them yet cause I haven't unloaded my trailer from going to MIK6's!
Bruce
that the rear plastic on your yamahauler will fit on my 1985 225 dxn.And for the mud flaps,i would go to a yamaha dealer and order them.The last time i checked they were still avaliable.I did some costom cutting on the right mudflap to componsate for the Over sized Cobra exghaust.The only differance between the plastic is the extra holes on the front black flaps.The mudflaps are under $20 each.

If you wet sand worn fenders you can bring them back to looking good?
You need at least 3 differant grits of wet sanding paper.Starting with the course,then medium,fine.This will take a while depending on the size and color of fading.I can do it for u if your intersted for a small fee.

I seen in another post that it will do 75mph is this true?? if so how?
Also there is a mod you can do to the rearend.. it changes the gears with another 4 wheeler or something for a higher topend.
There is a gear in the rear transfer case that can be replaced with a bigger one out of newer shart drive atv.The result is a higher top end.
Check out the new 6061 aloys.New brush gaurds from Moose Racing.
100 hours spent,$3300 dollars spent.This was a very fun project.This is a better look for the trike. :)

Well if you are going to keep it I guess it is still cheaper then buying a new quad. It looks like you did an excellent job on it. Just one thing, now what are you going to ride?
I ride it for 3 hours a day.Mon thur Thur.I take very good care of it.I wash it off everytime that i get it dirty.Then i use black magic to make it shine.I am trying to get a 85 tri z to restore. :)

Nice trike man. I also have a 1985 225DX sky blue. Not as nice as yours but complete with everything working. Its a monster in the snow and loves the hills. Blues are hard to find..... alot of yellows and black YTM's.
Good luck and thanks for restoring a part of history of our sport.

Can you post a pic of your 225 dxn please.I just love looking at them. :p
Hope you guys like Tri Moto's ,cause i love them.They don't get enough respect.
